True.as Gospel.

We find the following very pointed declaration in the Tsmbxtone Epitaph and we give it our unqualified en. dorsement:
 "When Arizona assumes her proper place among the States of the Union and her vast area is filled with pros porous, happy population, such result. will be due principally to the honest and earnest efforts of the press of th' Territory. When Arizsna can afford to do without the services of her news papers she can dispense with all off cials and turn the country over to th' Indian and rustler again.

Some months ago the natives of Q certain district in Australia predicted the approach of floods, and left their lOw-lying villages fer the higher coHn try. The floods came several weeks later, and the natives said their infor- nation had been gathered from the ants, which had built their nests in trees, instead of, as usual, on the Ground.

The fine agricultural lands of south western Arizona are going like hot cakes. Locations are daily being made on the rich bottom lands of the Gila and Colorado and inquiries are numerous. Canals are being con. structed and. general onward move ment is manifest all along the line and in every direction. Arizona is amply able to supply her own markets with all kinds of products from the orange to the potato. The tims is close at hand when this fact will be demon stlated.

The symptoms of a speedy mining revival in this section are becoming more pronounced every day. There are no end of good prospects in the Dos CAbezas, Chirichua, Swisshslm and Winchester mountains, and the day iS not far distant when enterprise and aIital will take hold of them in earnest. With the advent of these, Wilcox will have her Wilcox Stockman.

Iahd "hlch are mineral ana aSrleultu- ral, two thirds are arable and could be irrigated; of these L,000,0O0 acres can be reclaimed by a judicious approprl- atlon and distribution of the present water supply. All farming in Arizo- na, except in few of the mountain valleys, to be successful, must be at tended by irrigation.
 HIGH MESA LANDS.
 In the high mesa lands of Graham, Mohave, Yavapai and Apache coun- hes, wherever water has been intro duced upon them, they are found to be most productive. Here are grown peaches equal in flavor and excellence to the best Delaware product; rasp- berries, pears, blackberries, cherries and apples not excelled anywhere. IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION TO FUTURE
 DEVELOPMENT.
 To the above facts I invite the at tention of the department, in order to demonstrate the importance of irriga- tiOn to the future development of this territory, and to urge upon congress the necessity for liberal appropria- tion for Photographic survey with a view to obtaining water by storage reservoirs in the mountain sheds, and to test the utility of artesian wells for that purpose in the valleys.
 Under present conditions of the 72.Q00, ,000 acres of land in Arizona, there is available to the stock raiser not more than 20,000,000 of acres, and to the farmer and horticulturist not more than 100000 of acres. The extended valley of the desert land stretching from Yumas to the noun tain ranges of Pinal and Pima coun- ties, 200 miles in length and more than l25 miles ssin1' width, containing about l5,OO0,O00 acres of land, could with irrigation, be made as productive as any part of southern California.  Forty acres of this land in a vineyard, orange, nut or olive orchard would yield a small fortune every year to the fortunate owner. That a great part, if not all, of it could be reclaim ed by artssian wells think admits of no reasonable doubt.
 Could capitalists secure this vast domain by retaining it, 1 have little doubt but corporation would be form ed to do 90: but in that event, if suc- cess attended their undertaking, the land would pass under the esntrol of a syndicate of millionsires who, would reap the advantages that should ac- crue to the honest settler and worthy honestexder.

It would be better that congress should, by R scientific survey and prac- ticul test. demonstrate the feasibility of artssian wells for giving sthe noed ed supply of water, and if the expert ment proved successful it could ad vance the price eff these lands and limit the amount which should be en- tered under the homestead law to 40 acres, and by entry to 80 acres to each individual purchaser. This law should be made applicable Ito all vineyard and citrus fruit lands.
 Congress made an appropriation to the territory of Colorado for artesian well-boring, which! demonstrated the practicAbility of this method of ob- taining . water supply for irrigation what Is now that state.
 In and around Denver well irri- gates from 40 to 50 acres. if one-half as good results could be obtained in Arizona we could produce wine, raj sins, fruits, nuts, and olives enough to support in afiuence a population, O. 2,OoO,OOo people.
 Ditches and canals are now being constructed in all parts of the terrific ry; mora and more land is being clear ed every year and placedisunder cul, tiuatisn. In two years more it is quite likely that all the land which now can be irrigated will be owned and occupied.

than simply through his vote, on cleo
ton day. 1t is true he may fail to ac-
complish what he desires in the prima-
ries, because Of the overmastering force
of corrupt combinations. But let him
make the effort, at least, to practically
protest against the political cliques
which boldly make up ''slates," and
then seek triumphantly to elect their
soiled and spoiled favorites to office.
We're it always expected, by the would
be-manipulators of caucuses, that the
pastors of the place will be present
at every primary to take an active
part, and, as matter of course, in the
best interests of the people, it is not
reasonable to suppose that there would
be perceptable improvement over the
present condition of things generallyp
But should pastor allow himself to
be candidate for any town, county or
city office? 1 should say that he ought
not. There are instances where pas
tors have been elected to offices, which
they have filled very creditably, and
without any very serious detriment,
apparently, to their pastoral duties.
And yet, in the very nature of things,
the occupancy Of a political office, re-
quiring considerable draught upon
his time and thought, depletes just that
amount of PASTORS energy which he
needs to expend upon his special work,
in order to it's highest efficiency. The
fact is, political Office and a pastoral
Office don't mix well.-C. H. Wetherbe,
IN HOmailetic Revietc.

PA soRs AND POLITICS.

The question is often asked, "Should
pastors take part in politics?" I an
swer, yes. This suggests another ques-
ton: To what extent may pastors
properly engage in politicsP They may,
and should, attend the primaries, and,
by voice and vote, do what they can,
in a quiet and becoming manner, to
secure the nomination of clean, honest,
and capable men for the offices to be
filed. 1t is not at all improbable but
that such a course will be criticised by
a certain class of men. Why2 Because
those, especially who belong to some
political ring" prefer not to have
their plans disturbed nor discovered by
a man whose character and position
they know to be utterly opposed to un-
derhand scheming and corrupt bargain
ing. Very likely pastor is subjected
to insinuations, if not to overt declara-
lions, that he is out of his place when
attending primary; but this should not
deter him from performing a duty
which he owes to his country, his city
or town, his family and himself. No pas
tor has a good right to complain of the
unfortunate condition of political af-
fairs, if he refuse to exert himself, in
a well-ordered and righteous way, to
bring about better state of things.
And it is more important that he should
seek to correct existing abuses, through
the session and action of the primaries,

A TEST OF CHRISTIANITY.

A Christian gentleman had occasion
to travel through a newly and thinly
settled part of the country; his COM
panion was man of intelligence, but
of in6del principles, who was fond of
discussion, and tried to beguile the
way by urging arguments against the
truth Of the Christian religion.
AS taverns were few, our travellers
were compelled to trust to the hospital
ity of those of whom they could not
but entertain secret fear. On one
occasion, as the evening closed in, they
sought lodging place in cottage re-
mote from other habitations. They
anticipated but little comfort, and were
induced to believe that it would be a
measure of safety to watch alternately
through the night.
AS they were about to retire to their
rude beds, our host, whose exterior had
excited their distrust, proceeded to a
shelf, took down an old and much-worn
Bible, and informing his visitors that it
was his custom to worship God in his
family, he read and prayed in so simple
manner as to secure the esteem of
the travellers. They retired to rest,
slept soundly, and thought no more of
alternate watching.
In the morning, the Christian request
ed his infidel companion to say whether
the religious exercises of the preceding
evening had not dispelled every parti-
Gle of distrust of their hosts character,
and had not enabled him to close his
eyes in the most confident security.
He was evidently embarrassed by the
question; but, at last, he candidly &C
knowledged that the sight of the Bible
had secured him sound nights rest.
Here was testimony extorted in favor
of religion, which he skeptically assail-
ed. He could not harbor fear of vio-
lence from one who was in the habit of
daily bending his knee before God.
The very creation of the family altar
rendered the house secure asylum

FRUITLESS ATTEMPTS AT
CHANGE.

1t is curious to note historically how
from time to time attempts have been
made always with ultimate failure
to substitute something novel in speech
for something ancient and deeply asso-
ciated with life and thought Of man
kind. The French revolutionists tried
not only to abolish religion-unhappily
they had but one form of it before them
Catholicism, with its incredible dog
mas and priestly domination but to
change the common times and seasons
into something scientific. So they be-
gan de movo with the year 1. of the Re-
public, and then the months were to
mark the seasons = foggy, stormy,
snowy, fowery, fruitful, and SO forth;
and the week days were to become ten,
the tenth day of rest; each month was
to have thirty days, and the over-plus
Of five was to be devoted, besides the
tenth day, to commemorative fetes.
But custom, "the magistrate of mans
life,' as Lord Bacon terms it, was too
strong for the scientific Atheists, and
in little while asserted its superior
strength. Nay, they were scarcely
scientific, for the months in France
thus marked only correspondent to it's
climate, or margin beyond, and foggy
month there might be flowery month
in some other part Of Europe, certainly
in some other part of the world. 1t
were we'll, indeed, for France if with
the return of the ancient nomenclature
of the times and seasons, religion, or,
to use Mr.. Arnold's favourite words
"The method and secret of Jesus" his
"sweet reasonableness, the essentials
of pure Judaism and Christianity, had
also appeared. That land of revolution
and levity would have been saved from
many social upheaval, many disas-
trous war, if the benign religion that
reveals to as the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man had been
known and embraced. That would
have met the deepest needs of the
French people, and given them true
conceptions of real greatness and glory
without strife, bloodshed, or conquest.
